Record 2 - external organization data 2005-11-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physics
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The pressure relief system protects the heat transport system piping from mechanical overpressure. Overpressure could occur, for example, if the feed valves failed [to] open, allowing the full discharge pressure from the feed pumps to pressurize the system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Le système de protection contre la surpression protège les conduits du circuit caloporteur contre la surpression mécanique. La surpression peut survenir, par exemple, lorsque les vannes d'alimentation demeurent ouvertes, ce qui fait en sorte que la pression de décharge des pompes d'alimentation exerce une pression sur le circuit.
